We are using Mahara 17.04.2 , we found an issue in using the group forum.

When I input the hyperlink in the forum content, the message cannot be sent out. When I click "save" button, there will be a warning message "A URL in this field contains the blacklisted domain ". Could anyone help with this case? Is there any settings I can add white list to the domain we always use? Thanks a lot.

When antispam is set to advanced it checks any url links in message against 3 blacklist url sites, spamhaus.org, uribl.com, and surbl.com

We test by checking the domain of the URl and append the dns suffix for the blacklist as the blacklist sites contain A records for bad sites.

I note that doing: dig xjtlu.edu.cn.multi.surbl.com returns a positive hit - yet using the online test form at http://www.surbl.org says it's not blacklisted. This is because multi.surbl.com also checks against Cracked (CR), Phishing (PH) or Malware (MW) lists at the same time.
